New Car Shopping

March 13, 2021

It's that time again! Time to get a new car, and the research phase is part of the fun!

My dad and brother love cars. Me? I really like them, but I think I love the research process more than what's under the hood. And just as cars have gotten better over the years, so too have the research options.

YouTube is the best for car shopping. My favorite channels:

There are countless others that I have watched as well. I have literally spent hours upon hours these past few months watching reviews (there are just so many options).

I have really enjoyed my time with my BMW 330i GT, but I'm moving away from BMW. Their design language in today's models is... weird. Not very “BMW”. They are going through a phase it seems. Plus, they have this new subscription pricing for everything which feels very unnecessary (such as for heated seats...wtf).

I think I've narrowed it down to a Mercedes or Lexus, but the model... well, I'm not sure yet. Something sporty seems fun, but I also like to be comfortable as I'm not a pure sports car kind of person. I'm also leaning towards a sedan. I know that Lorena has a slight preference for SUVs. I could be persuaded to a small-sized SUV... and if anyone can persuade me of something, it's her. 😅

In any event, I have a nice list of cars that need a test drive!
